Friendship Circle of Alabama—based at the Chabad Center on Overton Road—is a non-profit that seeks to provide programming, recreation and a warm, inclusive community for people with special needs, especially teenagers and young adults, as well as their families.
In February, Friendship Circle created a new offshoot called Full Circle.
Full Circle is a second-hand clothing store located at Levite Jewish Community Center on Montclair Road that has been built, managed and operated by young adults with disabilities.
The shop specializes in quality, brand-name women’s clothing and accessories, organizers say.
“Our hope is to provide employment and skill-building opportunities for young adults with special needs,” Friendship Circle co-director Rabbi Levi Weinbaum told Village Living recently.
And now local shoppers in need of bargains can check out the store’s grand opening event this weekend.
Full Circle, which had a soft opening in February, will hold a Spring Pop-Up Sale at the LJCC on Sunday, May 16, from 10 a.m.-3 p.m., according to Weinbaum.
